Mutton Chops

View Video

These are such a delicious option to eat especially if you don't eat lamb for ethical reasons. Mutton has a richer flavour and since it is older sheep or goat, takes a little extra time to cook.  Most people cook it by sautéing it in a frying pan, I prefer to sear it and bake it. This way I can throw some veggies in the pan and I have a whole meal ready.

Ingredients
8- 10 mutton chops marinate overnight

Marinade6  roasted garlic cloves
1 tsp cumin powder
1 tsp crushed black pepper
1 tsp chilli paste
Salt to taste
Juice of a lime
Olive oil
1 sliced onion

Process
Mash the garlic with a muddler or the back of a spoon. Smear the marinade all over the meat on both sides. When marinated, drizzle with some olive oil sear in a pan on each side for a few minutes and then continue to cook in a preheated oven at 350 degrees for 20 – 30 mins
